I had checked that they matched before.  It fixed my problem.  I don't 
know if it is a gcc "feature" in 4.0 or what, and today I don't have 
time to think about it.  I've been up since Till found that problem 
last night getting my application running, and I'm planning to try 
things out at the customer site in a few hours.

Again, Till gets my "Hero of the Day" award.
